Summary
It was the most peculiar thing to see Daniel Fenton and Marinette Dupain-Cheng vehemently turn down a project. There was disgust. Barely concealed loathing. What was so strange about their bosses’ offer? They were about to be given a chance to redesign the suits of Justice League members and renovate part of the Watchtower.
On a completely unrelated note, an incident with the Order and the use of ectoplasm forces the Celestial Guardian and the King of the Infinite Realms to finally meet.

Summary
Trust was a funny thing for Paris’ heroes: absolute, yet not; necessary, but dangerous. When their backs were against the wall, the trust between them was unspoken. Chat would gladly put his life in Ladybug’s hands if the situation called for it, and Ladybug would gladly do the same, even if their respective roles meant that looked different for her than it did for him. But when it came to their identities, trust was a risk they couldn’t afford to take, no matter how much they wanted to. When those two realms collide—one where trust is essential, one where it is forbidden—Ladybug chooses to trust. It might be the best decision she’s ever made.

Miraculous: Help from the Outback (discontinued) by AuthorLilly
Fandoms: Miraculous Ladybug

Tags
Summary
Mara, Kara, Lyle, Layla, and Arya are all siblings living in Australia. Or, they were at least.
While they were exploring the Outback they found a strange jewelry box that fell into Mara’s possession. The Australian Miraculous Box! Ever since then, with the Kwamis in their box; Kowali, Miraculous of the Koala, Perry, Miraculous of the Platypus, Candy, Miraculous of the Sugar Glider, Arachne, Miraculous of the Spider, Maggie, Miraculous of the Magpie, Bingo, Miraculous of the Lizard, and Bondi, Miraculous of the Shark.
For three years they fought crime, a rich jerk who abused a miraculous for all of three months before they caught him, and the occasional evil spirit.
That was until their parents moved to the city of love; Paris!
Now that they know there’s a whole other city under siege, a hero that’s about to break, and Miraculi being mishandled will they keep to themselves and stay out of it?
Hell no. Australians don’t give up and they’re going to do whatever it takes to help Ladybug get rid of Hawkmoth once and for all.
There's one thing Hawkmoth should've learned before picking up his Miraculous; Don't piss off the Aussies. -

Summary
Hawkmoth was defeated and unmasked as Gabriel Agreste almost 8 years ago. Since then, Chat Noir has vanished without a trance, and without a word to his superhero partner, Ladybug. Ladybug has distributed the other miraculous to various holders permanently, creating a team of superheroes to protect Paris.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng is 24 years old, and a famous fashion designer in Paris. She pours all her time and energy into her work, to avoid dwelling on her failures. Marinette believes she given up her life as Ladybug. Everyday, she wonders what became of Chat Noir, and hopes that someday, he will return to Paris.
After his father was exposed as Hawkmoth, Adrien Agreste fled the country, moving to the US. He never planned on returning to Paris. On returning to everything he had left behind, including Ladybug. When Adrien makes a decision that ultimately leads to his return, a new threat arises, one that will expose the past and bring buried secrets to light.

Summary
When people looked at Chloé Bourgeois, all they saw was a bully-a spoiled, entitled brat. To them, she embodied privilege and arrogance, someone who had never lifted a finger in her picture-perfect life.
But Chloé knew the truth. She was a woman forged in blood, sweat, and tears, with a heart that burned deeper than any ignited flame.
When inheriting the Bee Miraculous, she saw an opportunity to reveal the power that truly shined deep within her. Blood, sweat, and tears would never stop her because that's exactly who she was- and she'd take on any wound with pride that rivaled the sun.

Summary
“Did someone bully you at school?”
Kagami clutched Cheng-san’s shoulders. “N-no,” she mumbled.
“Did you get a bad result?”
“I, I haven’t been registered as a student yet…”
“What made today a bad day, then?” said Cheng-san, oozing kindness and attentiveness. “Would you like to tell me?”
No. No, she wouldn’t. There was no need to tell anyone something so private only the second time she met them, but also Cheng-san’s embrace was so kind, and yes.
“My soulmate,” Kagami said, breathlessly. “I found out I can never have her.”
“Ah,” said Cheng-san. “I should have guessed when I saw the two of you… you met her at fencing, didn’t you?”
Kagami’s blood froze. She pushed herself free from the hug, stared into Sabine’s eyes. “How do you know that?”
There was something about Cheng-san’s expression that felt different from before the hug started. An undertone that made it look like she suddenly hadn’t slept enough. “She is my daughter,” she said.
---
Kagami has always dreamt about having a soulmate. And she gets one on her ninth birthday, a girl named Marinette - but Kagami's efforts to try and meet, let alone court, her soulmate, are repeatedly frustrated.
